I am new to this wonderful website that I wish I had found before yesterday! I love to tinker(but not too much that it negatively effects my game) and have been interested in working with lead tape to get a better feel for some of my clubs(Specifically wedges) that I push to the right quite regularly.....Any Ideas of how to do this and or where to buy the best lead tape?????

I do not believe adding lead tape will change the center of gravity, therefore will not help alter the characteristic(s) of your shot (although many people disagree with me). It is typically used to change the swing weight of your clubs. Many hardware stores carry it but if you want to purchase it online try this .

Callaway X-Hot Tour GD Tour AD DI-7 Sonartec SS-3.5 16* FTP-X Adams Idea Super S 19* Matrix Kujoh
Bridgestone J33B DG X100 Mizuno MP 53*6 Mizuno MP 56*10 WRX Sq. Gr. GTO Ported

I know the local Golf Galaxy sells lead tape, I would think Golfsmith would as well. I would check pretty much any large golf store and if they don't have it, ask around.

Just so you know... the tape will affect the swingweight of the wedges, so you may need to add weight to the grip end as well.

I think... heel weight will close the clubface and toe weight will open it... so if you are pushing shots right, heel weight may help. I am not 100% on this info, but it's my best guess.
My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...
